All of them pointed out the following paragraph in the INSTALL file came
with sendmail 5.65c:

===================

If your SUN starts crashes with a data fault, get patch
Patch-ID# 100092-03
Keywords: 4/60, performance, memory, pmeg, kernel, vm
Synopsis: poor VM performance with physical memory greater than 16Mb.

I was igornant about this patch as I thought it only applied to the sun4c
architecture and not the sun4.
